On the oxidation of 3-ethylpentane under GifIV and Gif-orsay conditions

The oxidation of 3-ethylpentane under GifIV (and GoAggII) conditions affords, as major product, 3-acetylpentane and not diethylketone as previously reported. The discrepancy is explained by radical chain autoxidation in presence of a weak tertiary C - H bond.

Stereochemistry of the Platinum Catalyzed Hydroformylation of Olefins

The deuterioformylation of (Z)- or (E)-2-butene catalyzed by Pt(SnCl3)Cl gives predominantly erythro- or threo-1,3-2-2-methylbutanal respectively.Hence, hydroformylation by this catalytic system must take place with cis-stereochemistry.
